Yes it must not have saved before you lost power.

I'm up to 40 wins now, not bad but not great either.

That's a good total. In how many races?


I have 19 in 399. Not a bad ratio... 1 in 20. Saying that, 8 have come in the past 3 weeks

I'm only on 46 not really worried about win ratio (Out of 109) as once you have the right MMR and right race lobbies winning will not be guaranteed for anyone, which I kind of like :D!

Trust me even 46 out of 109 people expect I win every race, I don't and will never expect to either... Mainly because once you're the right MMR and everything is settled you will race people who are equal to you so that stat will only get further away.

Similar to when I played Warcraft 3 or Starcraft 2, I could dominate any bronze player but when I got to bottom end of Master I was winning/losing 50% either way (You can only win or lose). Racing is worse for this as it's win or any number of positions so that % will drop massively at this point. Top 24 superstars is the best example of this, nobody is guarenteed a win.

You can take that chicane flat out in the Bugatti VGT, if you have balls of steel, I managed it once or twice but most times.... BANG!

You have to be very precise, the angled left hand side barrier on the exit helps for lining yourself up along with getting you through cleanly, but unfortunately you can’t really spot it before entering the corner so it’s quite hard to judge.

282. I have more fastest laps than wins though so it's easy to see where I need to improve the most. That and qualifying, an extra few tenths will make a big difference here for me.

Added kudosprime to sig too. :)

That's my point, 46 is really good.

👍 consistency then!
 
I got 10 wins in 175 races but 18 poles and 16 FLs, my problem is I either nail the qualifying and start in the top 5 and screw up in the race or it‘s the other way around and I just manage to work my way up a little bit through the field if I find a consistent race pace :lol:

Yes, basically not spinning/crashing. They'll be enough occasions where this will happen which are out of my control, without me gifting places and even wins to people.

On another subject why do people who have not pitted just love to defend or even block against me when I have pitted, even if they non-stopping, which isn't usually the case, they are never keeping a faster car with fresh tyres behind them for 5 laps, just ridiculous and it's ruined a few of my races too lately.
 
Tried the Race B. I was lucky enough to match with the current fastest man in Asia. He was 3s quicker (wow) and raced at different planet. I enjoyed the battle for 5th and 6th place race though.

You need to not push so hard in races then I guess, save a few hundreths of pace for consistency. Well, you are infinitely better than me so whatever works I guess :lol:
 
Had my best night in sport mode last night at Nurb GP. 5 races in the GR3 458. 4 wins, 1 2nd, 2 poles, and 2 fastest laps.

The matchmaking was surprisingly good also. Every race was all B/S drivers.

Win? What's that? I did all 3 of today's dailys, and the oval was the only race that wasn't carnage. The GR4 had one of the racers confused. He couldn't figure out why he was one of two DRA's in a field full of DRD's. I believe his pre race comment involved a three letter acronym beginning with "W".

Same here. Have been enjoying the C/C class races on my 2nd account far more than the B/S races on my primary account. Sure there are a few idiots in C/C, but I think it's mostly due to be slightly inexperienced. I made B/C earlier today, so time to tank my DR and get back to C!

B/S classes are just plain dirty, 8/10. It's that must win and pass at any opportunity mentality that ruins races.

B/S is most definitely a good acronym!

I here you the C C races are far more enjoyable and less aggressive and less bashy

Presumably the Atenza is just too slow for there to be any carnage? :lol:

Pretty much! The oval is so wide and the Atenza is so slow that if someone does manage to get a better line and gain some extra velocity, it's easy to get out of the way. it was only my second clean race.

It‘s way easier to get FLs and Poles as neither of those are depentand on the behaviour of others, if you nail the qualifying and are lucky you get a pole. If somebody then crashes you and you end up in the back you can still get the FL as it doesn‘t matter if you‘re P1 or P20 :) I even sometimes pit a second time when I‘m last anyway or have a comfy gap to the ones behind me in the C races at lap 8 just to try nailing the final lap. :D
 
Hey fellows. I did a decision! I wanna make a experiment: How many races are needed, to go up to A/S. Many players are crying "uh, crap, bad ramming, goodbye" andfor this case i have created a second account. I have done nurb driving school and bought from this credits the Atenza. Done a qualifying with 1.46 and enter the next race. I put EVERY race in YT until i reach A/S, no matter how horrible they are :lol:. I hope i need not so much time for it :D Wish me luck!

Edit: Forget the goal of this: I wanna know if it is really so bad down there if you are prepared for the track and if you can drive seriously. Yeah, thats it :D
